My topics concern human rights, world peace, community outreach & a love of the arts including music, poetry, visual arts including movies & theatre. Working on maintaining inner peace in a very chaotic world. Space exploration, the sun the moon, stars our universe & beyond. The seasons of our planet & our lives. The need for disarmament & how all of this impacts the lives of individuals, communities & our world at large.

First Friday Putnam, Ct., Living In The Here & Now

Here we are at Ann's wonderfully energetic shop

Flying Carpet Studio

Main Street, Putnam, Ct.

Ann just introduced us to her new friend award winning professional photographer & artist

Paul J. Toussaint

Here's Paul with just a few of his latest works.

It's early on in the evening for Putnam's First Friday with people just beginning to gather on an Andy Griffin style Main Street USA.

A few photos of a very old building on the corner with a mural in process as thankfully this building goes through a renovation process.

We're fortunate to live in a rather modest & lovely location here in Northeastern Connecticut fondly called The Last Green Valley. Located in The Last Green Valley is the quaint town of Putnam. For several years now Putnam, Ct. has been holding a rather new-old fashioned event called First Friday. On First Fridays, the first Friday of the month from May-December shops are kept open late into the evening, street performers stroll & do their thing along with the areas excellent restaurants offering up their fare. Early evening is a good time of day to stroll along the river. Popping into a shop along the way often times we are greeted by the familiar face of friends & neighbors of our close knitted community. These kind of hometown events always evoke a warm & friendly feeling of knowing that we're living in the right place for the here & now. Living in the present, & fully enjoying each & every moment makes it all

About Me

Some times we hear the tree in the forest when it falls, sometimes not..
Life is a discovery process, and with it our mutual search for peace in our hearts, and in our world at large. Love and, acceptance is the key.
I am now a mother & a grandmother, but during my childhood's generation many of us were given limited choices if we wanted any type of job outside the home. The word career was never mentioned. We were often told to become teachers, secretaries, waitresses, & nurses. I chose the later. It suited who I was, & as I delved into it year upon year I acquired knowledge and skills I never would have achieved in any other way because the nursing profession provides unique human experiences which not only helps our patients but enriches the lives of our fellow/fella nightingales too. All of it further developed my desire for- peaceful solutions in all matters.
The purpose of this blog is a hint of what all human beings desire whether verbalized or not...
"May Peace Prevail On Earth", is a possibility for one Person, one Nation at a time.~xo~
